Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 1214  The Opposite Of Hope [Part 3]

"That's one down. Now, who wants to die next?"

But before anyone could answer, Daniel reappeared behind Keoza and cut off the Crystal Dragon's head with one clean slash of his clawed hands.

Aurelia, who saw this, lost the strength in her legs and almost collapsed on the ground.

Iris, who was right beside her, supported her body and hugged her close. The Dragon Princess' tears started to pour like a river as she wailed in Iris's arms.

Lux's first fiance held her tight, knowing the pain that she was suffering right now.

Queen Evangeline bit her lip until it drew blood. She had only recently reunited with her husband, and yet, she had to see him die right in front of his eyes.

Lux and Hereswith finally moved and attacked Daniel at the same time.

Hereswith was holding a fairy sword in her hand, while Lux was wielding his Divine Spear, Calypso.

Daniel ignored both of them and teleported away.

This time, Daniel appeared above the Floating Island of Edea.

Lux roared because he already knew what Daniel was about to do. Using his ability, he instantly teleported to his Guild Headquarters, just in time to face one of Daniel's strongest attacks.

"Decimation Flare."

Lux channeled his power to the locket that Aurora had given to him.

The Pillar of Love had the power to create the strongest barriers. However, it came with a price.

The stronger the attack the locket had to block, the more lifespan it had to take from its wielder.

This was why Aurora died after shielding everyone from the explosion that Nyarlathotep had created.

The Outer God's suicide attack was so powerful that she lost all of her lifespan in that single exchange.

While this might seem like an unfair exchange, the power of the Golden Locket was absolute. This meant that it could block the full-powered attack of a God in exchange for the lifetime of an ordinary Human.

If you were a long-lived race like the Elves, you would be able to tank at least four to five of these powerful attacks before all of your lifespan was used up.

Eiko, who knew what her Papa was about to do, commanded her Golden Anchor to increase its size to become a shield.

This was actually not the function of the Golden Anchor, but since it was one of the Pillars of Eternity, it could tank a hit if needed.

The Baby Slime usually used it as a weapon and a shield because of its unique ability to increase its size according to her will.

Lux then applied the power of the Golden Locket to Eiko's Anchor, reinforcing its defensive abilities.

Daniel sneered as he unleashed his attack without holding back.

A blinding light erupted in front of everyone, forcing them to cover their eyes.

The Golden Anchor made creaking sounds as it endured the brunt of the attack. However, it wasn't able to block it completely.

Daniel's attack was aimed not only at the floating island but at the entirety of the Alliance Fleet as well.

Marchosias sighed after seeing how merciless Daniel was. He had hoped that Lux and the Elysians would be able to fight him, but this move alone was enough to show who was the victor of the battle.

'I guess this is it,' Marchosias thought in dismay. 'It seems that I hoped for too much.'

The other Abyssal Lords cheered after seeing Daniel's display of power. Although many of them were forced to bend to his will, this was a very normal thing in the Abyss.

If Antero had the intention of ruling the Abyss, everyone would have fallen in line with him. They would have no hesitation because their world was ruled by the strong, and this unspoken rule would remain the same for as long as the Abyss existed.

When the light receded, blood seeped at the corner of Lux's lips. Several strands of his red hair had now turned to silver, which was a sign that he had sacrificed a part of his lifespan in order to protect the people who were important to him.

Unfortunately, he couldn't save the rest of the Alliance.

Daniel chuckled as he looked at the last two Floating Islands, as well as a little over a dozen flying ships that survived his attack.

The rest were instantly obliterated, killing everyone who resided in them in less than a blink.

"You know what I find funny?" Daniel asked in disdain. "It is the fact that you Mongrels thought that you even stood a chance against me. I don't know if all of you are being delusional or you've given up hope and just wanted to get it over with, so you came to find me. "Since that is the case, this will save me time gathering all five of the Pillars. Also, since all of you hot-blooded fools are here, it means that the people who are left in Solais and Elysium will submit to me easily. This is like hitting three birds with one stone."

Daniel then shifted his gaze to Lux and sneered. "I guess it's you whom I have to thank, no? If not for you, all of this wouldn't have happened. So, thank you. You can die in peace knowing that you've played your role in helping me ascend to Godhood."

The Pseudo-God then pointed his finger at Lux with an evil smile plastered on his face.

"Decimation Flare."

Lux and Eiko once again blocked this attack through gritted teeth, making sure that their Guild Headquarters wouldn't fall because the precious people whom they wanted to protect were inside of it.

When the light receded for the second time, only the Floating Island of Edea remained.

Daniel planned to attack again and again because he found the desperation in Lux's face a very wonderful thing to see.

If he really wanted to destroy the Guild Headquarters, he could have easily done it by teleporting past the Half-Elf and destroying the Castle in an instant.

But where was the fun in that?

He wanted to see him despair and use up his life force. When the Half-Elf could no longer even stand, Daniel would then kill the people inside Lux's Guild Headquarters in front of him one by one.

He had every intention to torture him mentally, and emotionally, making him regret the day he defied him in his life.
